In modern logistics and agricultural warehousing, temperature-controlled storage has become essential for maintaining the quality and shelf life of grains and edible oils. For bulk commodities such as rice, wheat, soybean oil, and peanut oil, a constant-temperature storage room helps prevent deterioration caused by temperature fluctuations.
So, how much does it cost to build a 300 m³ temperature-controlled storage room for grains and edible oils?
1. How Much Does a 300 m³ Grain & Oil Storage Room Cost?
A 300 m³ storage room is typically designed as 100 m² in floor area with a height of about 3 meters.
This size is widely used in grain and edible-oil warehousing because it provides sufficient storage capacity without creating excessive construction costs.
For a standard configuration, the estimated investment is:
➡ Approx. USD 15,000 – 20,000
This price usually includes:
- Insulated wall and ceiling panels
- Temperature-control system (10–20°C)
- Basic electrical installation
- Control panel and monitoring
- Engineering, labor, and commissioning
However, the final cost will vary depending on:
Temperature range requirements
- Type of products (grain, oil, or both)
- Fire-proofing grade
- Whether racking systems are included
- Sensor and monitoring options
Haocool engineers will prepare a customized design and provide a precise quotation based on your actual storage demand.
2. How Much Storage Capacity Does 300 m³ Provide?
A 300 m³ constant-temperature storage room can typically hold:
➡ 100–120 tons of grain
or
➡ 70–80 tons of edible oil (in drums or IBC containers)
The exact capacity depends on:
- Palletizing method
- Product density
- Whether shelves or racking are used
- Loading/unloading space requirements
For mixed grain + oil storage applications, capacity will be calculated based on the proportion of each product.
